I need to ask you a favour

“So Frank” His grandmother begins. “We've heard a lot about you from our Gerard here.” I smile at her, trying to ignore the way Gerard shifts uncomfortably beside me. It didn't matter what he'd lied about in this moment. I had a role to play, and I had to do it well.
“Good things I hope?” I tilt my head towards my 'boyfriend' and giggle a little bit, leaning into his side. He seems to take the hint, and places an arm around my shoulder.
“Of course.” His voice is barely above a whisper next to my ear and I shiver without even trying, suddenly very aware of his presence.
“So, do you live near-by? I've heard that you visit often.” I try to make conversation to avoid having to think about me and Gerard and everything it meant by me being here with his family.
“Actually no, we live about an hour away, we try to come down as much as possible though, to see Gerard, we're staying with some friends tonight....” His grandmothers words faze into the background as I feel Gerard press his lips to my cheek casually and my whole being stiffens. I think it's mainly just because I wasn't expecting it- the idea of Gerard kissing me wasn't exactly unwelcome, but he noticed right away and shuffled back, trying to seem subtle about it. I don't look up to see how his grandparents react- if they even notice.
“...Anyway, thought we'd just pop by for a chat. We've been wanted to meet you for so long now, Frank, but Gerard always says you're so busy with work... What is it that you do?” I try to swallow the heavy feeling in my throat and reply.
“I'm in a band actually. I play guitar. We're not big yet, but we're hoping to get there. Sorry I haven't been about, but usually when I'm not rehearsing, I'm sleeping aha.” I give them another big, fake, smile and twist my hands together in my lap.
“Frank... can I talk to you outside?” Gerard whispers and I don't meet his gaze as he leads me out of the room, apologising. Once he's shut the door behind us, I lean against the hall for support.
“Look, Frankie, I'm really sorry. I obviously made you uncomfortable and I should have asked before I.. you know.. I just thou-” I cut him off, pushing myself upwards until my lips reach his. The kiss only lasts a second, but it's good. Better than good, if you ask me.
“Gerard, it's okay. I like you- really like you. I just wasn't expecting it is all.” I shrug and he blushes, dark pink covering his cheeks.
“So I didn't scare you off?”
“Quite the opposite actually.” I smirk
